Longer trips don't require larger packs. More varied trips do. The
more different things that you do in more varied climates, the bigger
the pack you need.

If you are just going to the beach, then you hardly need to pack at all,
no matter how long the trip.


several years ago pre 9/11 I traveled to Hawaii from Australia to just
veg out on a beach for 4 days, all i had was hand baggage with a towel
and a pair of board shorts the customs officer got very nasty
demanding to know why my stay was so short and why i didn't even have
a change of underwear. I think he was just having a "kill haole day".
I'm from Hawaii of European background, hate to think how i would have
been treated if i had been a non US citizen traveling under the same
circumstances
Aloha

"Kill Haole day"? That sounds like a festival worth avoiding (at least
for some of us).
